Kate Middleton is proving once again that the most meaningful accessories have a personal touch.
The freshly blonde Princess of Wales, 43, was spotted wearing a necklace with a sweet nod to her kids, Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7, who just returned to school on Wednesday, September 3.
Middleton was beaming in her Daniella Draper Gold Fixed Alphabet necklace — which costs around $495 prior to customizations — featuring G, C, and L initial charms on Thursday, September 4. Per the website, the piece “is designed to be playful yet classic and is made using recycled solid 9ct yellow gold.”
The children’s initials are represented in their birth order with George first on July 22, 2013, followed by Charlotte on May 2, 2015, and Louis on April 23, 2018. She previously wore the item in April with her Gold Midnight Moon necklace, also by the same jewelry designer.

These days, Kate is keeping up with her royal engagements as well as family life after her brave battle with an undisclosed form of cancer. The beloved Princess of Wales announced she was in remission in January.
